Answer

The answer is **d. 50 knots**.High-speed ferries like "The Cat" (several ferries have used this name, so context matters, but generally speaking) are known for their speed, often exceeding 40 knots. 50 knots is a speed some high-speed ferries are capable of achieving. While 20 and 30 knots are plausible speeds for some ferries, they wouldn't be considered "high-speed." 40 knots is getting into the high-speed range, but 50 knots better reflects the speeds achieved by some of the fastest ferries.
